Still don't like it today. Obviously it still smells the same. And you can only play with it for an hour and then it's pretty worthless and stiff. Yes I know the directions say you can rehydrate it with some water, but that is so ewww you will only do it once I promise. Oh and {breathe} forget if I {deep breath} find a {breathe through your nose} a {swallow} hair enbedded in Play-Doh. {change the subject, change the subject}
I've taken some art classes in HS and college and guess what? I don't like working with clay. I hate the way it makes my hands feel. Ewww.
Back to Play-Doh. Why is it so hard to open the containers? They are childproof that's for certain. They are practically adult-proof as far as I'm concerned. And then this morning Little m wanted to play with some so I opened a container and look what I saw...
Play-Doh as a petri dish. I know the second pic is not focused, but it looks like it's erupting, so I had to post it. What the hell is that? I give up. What is the redeeming quality to this amorphous solid? (I paid attention in HS biology-go ahead, look surprised.)
Okay. Fine. It does have a redeeming quality. It keeps a four and half year old and an eighteen month old playing together and quiet for a long time. Long enough for me to type this ranting post. Which is the only reason I keep it in my house. That and the fact that my BFF gives it to the kids for EVERY holiday. Grrr.
BTW. Check out the close up of that second picture. If I had focused in on the right place it would have been awesome. New camera rules!! I mean how cool does the edge of that Play-Doh container look??

Oh, Meredith, I have to agree with you about play doh. I couldn't stand the stuff and when my children were young they weren't allowed to play with it at home. I didn't want that stuff in my carpet or on my hard wood floors. I always figured out a way to get it away from them if they got it as a gift. They tell me now that they were deprived - oh yeah - BIG DEAL. No I am not really heartless, just kidding. When I had carpal tunnel surgery the children thought it was funny that I had to use play doh to restore the strength in my hands.
Im loving your new camera, great pics. BTW.. I hate play doh too. The smell doesn't bother me but I hate cleaning it up. Have you ever tried moon sand? I hate that stuff even more.
